Jon Stewart recently covered the odd fact that Fox News’ Sean Hannity dedicated five different shows to the “horrors” of Spring Break.

Hannity’s shows were replete with lots of B-roll showing bikini-clad women dancing and twerking, to the point where Stewart wondered if that wasn’t the entire point of the series after all:

“Now, some of the more skeptical viewers might think, this is less of a news story and more of a reason to spend the week running wildly inappropriate T&A footage alongside pundits tsking said footage. But you’d only be 99.9% right.”

Even stranger, Hannity and his guests shared their funny tales of Spring Break (but don’t you dare send the kids), and then demonstrated for the audience how to use a beer-bong.

I like how the idiots on Fox say. ”what kind of parents let their kid go to spring break?” or ”where are the parents?”. These are college aged ADULTS, 18 and over. Their parents can’t tell them what they can or can’t do anymore. JFC, they’re so dumb at Fox.

I agree to a point. It takes a modicum of intelligence to con so many people for so long, but just observe her off-the-cuff, unscripted statements and you realize she can’t really think on her feet. Thanks.

She’s not stupid, just ignorant.

Reminds me of Woody Allen’s “Sleeper” where scientists in the future are asking him to explain the meaning of artifacts from the past. They present Woody with a Playboy centerfold, which he puts it in his pocket, telling the scientists that he wants to give it through study at home and will give them a full report in the morning.

While I agree that Sean Hannity has the intelligence of a doorknob, I have yet to see anyone who is dumb enough to make Sarah Palin seem as intelligent as – say – Sean Hannity.

Agreed they are most tiring…and act like crazy children as well <|;o)

I’m weary of them, but I’m also quite wary of them, as well. ;-)

It is true that most people who try to restrict the behaviors of others – are the ones you need to be weary of. They have desires that are out of control and without strict rules they fear they would run “WILD”.

These old white men want a return to male dominated society where wives walk behind their husbands.

Sean Hannity, the only man in America who makes Sarah Palin seem as intelligent as Marie Curie and makes Bill O’Reilly seem to have as much journalistic integrity as Edward R. Murrow, in comparison to himself.
